But the big question is, when will Universal Brotherhood be available
in PDF via DriveThruRPG?

Don't quote me on this, but it should be up next week, if it doesn't
make it up today. It's one of the scanned/OCRed books, and the
BattleCorps guys are making them, while I'm handling the books that we
still have original layout files for.

I guess I better hurry up and eBay my extra copy... ;-)

Cheers,
Adam

Ick. Me no like scanned :/ My one bad experience with DriveThruRPG
involved a product that had been scanned. Maybe they've learned more
since then, but I'm not willing to take that chance until someone else
gives a thumbs up for the pdf version of UB :/

Love the others tho :)

Are these files DRM'd or just watermarked?

Forgive me if this question has already been asked.

Thank you

On DriveThru they are watermarked, on BattleCorps they are not, and on
neither does DRM get near them. ;-)
